"And then"I continued,"he got on one knee,And asked my mom to marry him,to prove that he wasn't,lying"I let out a big sigh.Riley looked at me with big puppy eyes.
"Peaches!"she smiled,"why are you so sad about this,You're finally getting a father after all these years,you should be raging with happiness!"

"I don't know,Riley!"I snapped,unknowing why,"maybe because this is new for me,having a complete stranger proposing a marriage for my mother,who I spend my whole my life with,you know-if you just put yourself into MY boots for once,you'll know how,nervous and scared I am right now,just thinking about it"I got off the bay window and took a big sigh.
I faced Riley again."I'm sorry Rainbow buttercup"I sighed,"I'm just so-scared"
"It's okay peaches!"Riley smiled,then frowned,"what are you scared of?"she asked.

"Maybe-Maybe Shawn will leave us too"I said,"like my dad did"
Riley probably did not see that coming,she frowned and shook her head."Maya,you know Shawn"she started,"Shawn is not the kind of person who'll leave you behind,he's someone who will always back you up,He's a good-guy"
"That's what my mom said about my father"I looked at her,"Guess how that turned out"
"Shawn is different,Maya"Riley smiled,"you,and I,and everyone who meet him knows that"
"And how does that prove anything?"I asked,Riley just smiled and hugged me
"Everything will be okay"she smiled and I nodded,hugging her back."I'm with you-"

"Who's ready for summer math!"Mr.Matthews opened Riley's door and walked in,more like ran in and took us into the living room.He sat us both on the couch while we groaned.
"You only got a few weeks of summer left!"mr.Matthew's yelled eagerly,"it's time to catch up on school math!Starting with the,drums please,multiplication table!!!!"He yelled excitedly
"Don't you think we're too old for that?"I asked and laughed,"come on,Matthews!"I whined
"Your never to old for multiplication!"Mr.Matthews laughed,"what's 12x67?"
"Um-"I thought
"Wrong!"he laughed,turning to Riley,"what's 36x76?"
"Um-"Riley sighed
"Wrong!"Mr.Matthews again laughed hysterically,"you guys are dumb-dumbs"
"Hey!"me and Riley both laughed at eachother."Mr.Matthews,your cheating,your just making them up as you go-"I whined and he looked at me and laughed."nah"
"What's 33x77"he stayed like that until topanga got home.WhichWas late at night.Mrs.Matthews walked in and watched us half-asleep on the couch,Riley drooling.
"Corey!"she gasped,"what did you make them do this time?"she asked him
"They made me!"Mr.Matthews whined,"don't believe anything they say,topanga,this kids are monsters!"he continued,"wouldn't let me sleep until they memorized the multiplication tables,that's what they told me!"
"You expect me to believe that?"Topanga laughed,"now,get Riley to bed,before I-"
"Woah,to much words!"mr.Matthews screamed as topanga walked closer to him,"aaahh"
He quickly got Riley off the couch and probably took her to her room.
"Maya"Mrs.Matthews said,"It's time to go home,got to be ready for school"
"Okay"I said,"I'll see you later"
"Tomorrow"
"You said it"I smiled,"not me"
